Just a reminder, though we are grieving today, we are blessed to celebrate the Christ child. We will have Christmas Eve service at 6 PM at Reliance UMC tonight. “For Unto Us A Child is Born.” See you all soon!

It’s bitterly cold outside as you all know. Because it is frigid for the Wi******er area homeless, WATTS has opened a warming station at 102 Montague Avenue. I will be dropping off some things this week, I am certain that they could use more assistance with hand warmers, water, snacks, other supplies, and with people to man the warming shelter.

Methodists go way back!

On August 20, we celebrate the 280th anniversary of the birth of Francis Asbury, the first bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Under Asbury's leadership in the Colonies, Methodism grew from 1,200 to 214,000 members and more than 700 ordained preachers.

Ridings Chapel celebrated Josiah on Sunday afternoon as he heads off to basic training with the Air Force this week. He has been a blessing to us and we know he will continue to be a blessing as he goes off to a new career.

It’s hot outside, but we do not need to tell anyone that. Because it is dangerously hot for the Wi******er area homeless, WATTS has opened a cooling station at 102 Montague Avenue. We dropped off two cases of water, Gator Aide, and snacks this morning. I am certain that they could use more assistance with water, snacks, other supplies, and with people to man the cooling center.

Due to a furnace problem at Ridings Chapel we will not gather at 9:00 for worship. Instead, we will be joining Reliance at 11:00.  I look forward to seeing everyone there.
